Artwork rental: art within everyone’s reach
What if you could change your surroundings every three months? Artwork rental is a service we are considering for ARTsynonyme, but it is not currently available on the platform. Here is the concept and why it interests us.
Why rent an artwork?
For professionals
- Enhance offices, waiting rooms and reception areas
- Refresh your décor easily
- A possible tax deduction, subject to applicable law
- A sense of prestige and authenticity
For individuals
- Try an artwork at home before buying it
- Change your style with the seasons
- Access art without a major investment
- Discover new artists regularly
How it could work
If this service is launched, the idea would be as follows, for illustration only:
- Choose an artwork offered for rent by its artist
- Agree the duration and terms directly with the artist
- Receive the artwork under the arrangements agreed with the artist
- At the end of the period, renew, buy or return the artwork, always by agreement with the artist
As with a sale, ARTsynonyme would take no part in payment or delivery: the rental would remain a direct agreement between the artwork’s owner and the renter, with the same precautions as for a purchase. See our FAQ.
